POPSBill Moyers: Bring Back the Draft The President is just about ready to send more troops. Maybe 44 thousand, that's the number General McChrystal wants, bringing the total to over 100 thousand. When I read speculation last weekend that the actual number needed might be 600 thousand, I winced. I can still see President Lyndon Johnson's face when he asked his generals how many years and how many troops it would take to win in Vietnam. One of them answered, "Ten years and one million." He was right on the time and wrong on the number-- two and a half million American soldiers would serve in Vietnam, and we still lost.

POPSGlenn "Chicken Little" Beck and his talk-hate media pals NEAL BOORTZ:"It's Ramadan and Muslims in your workplace might be offended if they see you eating at your desk. Why? I guess it's because Muslims don't eat during the day during Ramadan. They fast during the day and eat at night. Sorta like cockroaches."

Journalism Luminaries Salute Walter Cronkite The following statements were made by recipients of the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism for a tribute video that was made in 2005. Bernard Shaw Former CNN News anchor and 1994 Cronkite Award Recipient “By his hand, by his heart, by his mind, Walter Cronkite has infected journalists and journalism for generations to come. As a reporter, as an anchor, excellence is his only standard. He can’t help it. He’s genetic that way. Walter shared his learning of how to be a journalist. He shared it universally. He shared it individually. He shared it with me.” Bill Moyers PBS Journalist and 1995 Cronkite Award Recipient “You were always fair; you were always helpful; you were always a man of integrity.

POPSBill Moyers: "Why aren't we talking about guns?" But please, there are already some 200 million, privately owned firearms in America. Every year there are 30,000 gun deaths and in some years more than 400,000 non-fatal, gun-related assaults. The next time someone wades through a pool of blood to sidle up and champion the preservation of firearms, can't we just say, no thanks ? Enough's enough. To quote Bill Hicks, There's no connection (and you'd be a fool & a communist to make one) between having a gun & shooting someone, and not having a gun & not shooting someone.

POPSEconomist: Geithner covering up bank insolvency The current economic collapse was brought about by a concerted effort to undermine and remove all regulations, allowing a creditor free-for-all that hinged on fraudulent risk ratings for bad loans. Banks used the concept of "really bad loans pay better". They adopted the Ponzi-scheme to grow rapidly and borrowed a lot of money making themselves rich but guaranteeing disaster down the road.

POPSThe biggest hypocrite in America. Bill Moyers The Church documents detailed the government's notorious campaign against Martin Luther King Jr.--a series of wiretaps and other surveillance, covering King from his home to his hotel rooms, which began under President Kennedy and accelerated under Johnson. Hoover routinely forwarded the results, including accounts of King's sexual activities, to the Johnson White House, and on at least one occasion Moyers forwarded a Hoover report on King throughout the executive branch.
